The Jersey City Public Schools Foundation

At the Jersey City Public Schools Foundation, our aim is simple yet transformative: to raise funds that elevate educational experiences for every student in Jersey City Public Schools, ensuring they have the resources to thrive and succeed.

Together with Jersey City residents and members of business community the JCPS Foundations aims seek charitable support that will provide additional resources to Jersey City Public Schools that will benefit children in the city.

We envision a future where every Jersey City student has access to the resources, opportunities, and support they need to excel. By fostering strong community partnerships, securing sustainable funding, and enhancing educational programs, we hope to create an inclusive and thriving learning environment that empowers students to reach their full potential.
